REED CITY, Mich, Dec. 22.-Two
months ago, Miss Matte Keeler, of this
city, in a spirit of fun, inserted an adver
tisement in the local paper requesting
correspondence, and representing herself
as young, handsome and OF good family.
Daniel Ludington, of Kegomic, Emmett
county, saw the advertisement, wrote to
Miss Keller, and a regular correspondence
begun. There were many points OF SINH
larity about the two persons, and Just
enough dissimilarity to make things in
teresting. After the acquaintance had
continued four weeks, Ludington proposed
for Miss Keeler's hand, explaining how
they had become acquainted. The lady's
father hesitated, but after satisfying HIM
self of ~Ludington's responsibility and
honorable intentions, gave his consent and
the marriage was performed yesterday.
Mr.. Ludington has large lumber interests
In Emmett county, aud is young, with

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. % George NJ.
Dallas, one of the best connected and
most widely known Philadelphia lawyers,
10 day asked for an injunction against the
Women's Decorative Art club. The art
club is composed of fashionable young
ladies who take lessons in brass work,
wood carving and painting. Mr.. Dallas
lives at 1914 Pine street, and the club
house is next door. He complains that
the young ladies in hammering brass and
carving wood make n noise hat constantly
disturbs him and his family, and is prac-
tically a nuisance. He asks that they be
restrained from using their mallets or be
compelled to move.
Charles q. Leland is president of the
club, and Miss Harriet Buchanan is treas.
urer. Some of the best known society
ladies in Philadelphia are members, and
art and social circles are agitated over the
application. 1t is declared that the noise
is not loud enough to annoy anyone, and
the application will be resisted, as the club
does not want to move.

In this copy of the HERALD we pub
lish the minutes, in a condensed form,
of the proceedings of a meeting held mt
the Court House on Tuesday evening
last in compliance with a resolution
passed by that meeting. 1t having
been rumored about that an attempt
had been made to extort money from
certain Republican candidates, the
meeting was called that enquiry might
be made into the matter, and the truth
brought ont. 1t had been currently re-
ported that a prominent citizen OF
Phllipsburg had first offered 500 for
the support of the Long Island Inter
Ocean for County Clerk, and that from
this originated a proposition Of II. s.
Montgomery TO Mr.. Hartman to sell the
influence Of that paper. That the truth
might be known, and justice be done
TO a prominent citizen standing high in
the estimation Of the community, the
meeting was called and the Investiga-
ton had. The testimony given may be
found in another place, and every read
er can Judge for himself what motives
impelled Mr.. Montgomery to perform
the part he acted in the matter. The
HERALD has printed the letters and a
summary of the testimony given with
no feeling of unfriendliness toward
any gentleman named. The evidence
so far is exparte. We have not heard
Montgomery in his own defense. We
never make up our minds fully as to
the guilt or innocence of a party till we
hear both sides. In this case Mont
gomery may be able to explain
satisfactorily his action, but We con-
fess We cannot conceive what posi-
Bile explanation he can make. Thus
far, the testimony is Overwhelmingly
against him. If he is guilty of an at
tempt to brighten those candidates
into donating or loaning him any sum
OF money, his conduct is most repre-
hensible-is7 disgraceful and damning.
The newspaper business is as respeeta-
bic as any other; the editorial prOfes-
sion is an honorable one IN which a
conscientious person may do great
good. Any editor who will attempt to
levy black-mail on u person because he
has control of the columns of a news
paper, Is wholly unworthy 10 occupy
the position of editor and deserves the
severest censure and contempt of all fan
minded people. He may be hard
pressed financially; candidates may
fail, as they often do fail. 20 appreciate
his services 10 themi he may render
important services TO the party, the city
or the general public, for which he re-
ceives no pecuniary reward and hardly
a s'thank you" from those who are the
benefciaries Of his efforts, yet all this
does not justify him in eNtorting either
gifts or loans from candidates or others
by threats. Thus much we say in a
general way. As before stated, SO fal
AS the rumor is concerned involving
Mr.. Montgomery. we leave every read.
or Of the HERALD TO form his own con
illusions, as TO his motives in the
matter Of correspondence with the var.
ious candidates.

The old Greenback party lost infu-
ence by fusing with the Democrats in
various places while protesting to hate
that party. Had it gone right along
sticking steadfastly to its principles, it
would to-day be power in the laud.
As it is the party has become extinct.
The new Union Labor party seems 70
be making the same mistake in this
county, though the Chairman Of the
State Committee opposes fusion, and
is trying 70 prevent the new party from
falling into the same error that the
Greenbackers- committed.
